A British computer store sued for selling 100 000 illegal copies of Windows   by Web Et SEO

When it comes to indulge in the joys of illegal copying of software, there are two categories of offenders: the smaller players, who usually do it at home for their personal needs, both for convenience only to save money . Do not laugh, surely you see what I mean, hey. And then there are the big guys, kind of industry without too many scruples, that has made counterfeiting a real business.

Microsoft vs. Comet

And do you think this is happening in China? Not at all. Microsoft has just begun legal action against Comet (a kind of local Darty or Saturn), a leading brand for resale and distribution of computer hardware and software in England on the grounds that it would have made and sold no less than 94,000 illegal copies of Windows XP and Windows Vista. The CDs were in fact copies of “restoration” and were sold at a price of 2.50 euros with the purchase of a PC, having been manufactured in a factory Hampshire.
In the interest of customers …

Following these accusations, Comet has issued a statement defending its position, even if it seems quite compromised, stating in substance that the channel took note of the complaint from Microsoft, but it had acted in good faith without violating the intellectual property of Microsoft because it was acting in the interests of customers, penalized by Microsoft’s decision to no longer provide restore CD with Windows PCs. Recognize, in defense of Comet, that this lack of recovery CD can sometimes be embarrassing or annoying in some cases.

Justice will tell what it really is: it will certainly be easy enough to demonstrate whether Comet actually acted in the interest of customers because in this case one can imagine that the dealer made no profit on the sale of CD , optionally making them available to customers at cost price. Otherwise They had to provide CD / DVD but not key. This is equivalent to CD / DVD recovery that were provided in time with a new PC provided that it is only available with the purchase of a PC of course.

What a pain to burn these CDs and DVDs when I book a PC to my clients …
There is also the solution to call the manufacturer to ask, mostly free, but must still find the number, call, wait time for an operator answers, come to understand what the guy said on the phone (platforms for use abroad), to create an account if none, explain that you are the dealer and not the end customer, send a copy of the invoice (invoice that does not exist because the client is not included), etc..
